As taken last year during a great 4th of July fireworks display in Culver City, CA, as sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce.

Upon entering the fairgrounds, they were kind enough to hand everyone a plastic U.S. flag (which included a special note, see above), to help us all celebrate our patriotism and remind us of our independence.

not for nuthin', but i've been having consistent 'trouble' with several websites, but can only remember two right now: yours (bradblog), and crooksandliars...
for *some* reason (not to get too paranoid), both of these sites (plus a couple others ?) do not show up when their links are clicked...
it takes not once, not twice, but three times to hit the 'reload' button before it will show up...
(using chrome, by the way, and not had this problem before...)
no biggie, just a clue at the scene of the crime, if others are having the same problem...
